“Uh…”
“You???”
Rick was dumbfounded, his eyes nearly popping out from behind his glasses. He simply couldn’t understand how Jacob knew his wife’s name.
Moreover, from his tone, it seemed he knew his wife!
Could it be that he was secretly investigating me??
Thinking of this, Rick felt a chill run down his spine. As the market director of Nation Light Advertising, he had done his fair share of accepting bribes and similar activities. If Jacob had really uncovered these things, he wouldn’t just lose his job; he might end up in serious trouble.
“Karen, let’s go.”
“Don’t stoop to the level of this mad dog!”
Rick panicked, not daring to stay and argue, and turned to leave.
“Rick, you…” Karen looked unwilling. She had wanted to mock him a bit more, but since Rick had already left, she felt it was inappropriate to stay behind and quickly followed after him.
The farce ended abruptly, and the onlooking salesgirls all wore expressions of lingering interest. It was a weekday, and there weren’t many customers in the store, so having such gossip to enjoy was quite a happy thing.
Unfortunately, that man was too cowardly and just ran away.
“Miss, let’s continue trying on bags.”
The salesgirl who had been attending to Jacob and Layla quickly shifted her focus back to her job.
“Mr. Jacob, are we still trying?” Layla looked at Jacob.
“No need to try anymore.”
Jacob waved his hand. Hearing this, the salesgirl couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed; it seemed that after the commotion, this big spender had changed his mind.
However, Jacob’s next words sent her mood on a rollercoaster ride: “Wrap up the ivory white and black ones.”
“Huh?”
The salesgirl was momentarily stunned and then asked, “Sir, do you want to buy both?”
“Is there a problem with my expression?”
Jacob smiled and countered.
“No problem, no problem.”
The salesgirl beamed with joy. She had thought this big spender was about to leave, but instead, there was a twist in the plot.
Not only did he not leave, but he also decided to buy two bags in one go.
“Sir, miss, please wait in the lounge.”
The salesgirl led the two to the lounge, where other salesgirls immediately brought tea and snacks.
At this moment, Layla’s heart was racing. Mr. Jacob had bought two bags at once, one of which was a birthday gift for his sister. The other one should be for her, right?
This is a Prada handbag worth twenty-six thousand! It’s so expensive, should I accept it??
“Miss, please check the bags. If everything is fine, I’ll go prepare the invoice.”
Just as Layla was feeling conflicted, the salesgirl returned with two new bags from the storage room.
Layla instinctively looked at Jacob, her eyes asking for confirmation.
“I don’t understand this; just check it out.” Jacob shrugged lightly.
Layla nodded, opened the dust bag with the Prada logo, and carefully examined the brand-new handbag inside.
Prada’s quality is notoriously poor; among the well-known luxury brands, Prada’s quality is almost at the bottom. Common issues include deformation, loose stitching, broken zippers, and logos that easily fall off.
If you have a Prada bag that is of very good quality, congratulations, it is likely made in Shenzhen!
So, people buy luxury goods not for their quality, but for their brand and social attributes.
However, although Prada’s quality isn’t great, the probability of a new bag having issues is still relatively low.
After checking, Layla found no problems with either bag and nodded at Jacob.
“Beautiful lady, please prepare the invoice.”
Jacob finished his tea, stood up, and followed the salesgirl to the cash register, then casually swiped his card to pay.
The total for the two bags was fifty-two thousand!
Comforting!
Jacob didn’t know if this was a kind of illness, but spending money really made him inexplicably happy.
So, he could understand why some women go shopping when they’re in a bad mood.
“Thank you, and please come again.”
The salesgirl smiled broadly as she escorted Jacob and Layla out of the store, secretly dissing Karen: Such a good husband was pushed to other women; look, there are plenty of beautiful girls lining up for him!
“Thanks to my girlfriend for her righteous support.”
“A small gift, just a token of my appreciation.”
After leaving the Prada store, Jacob handed the ivory-colored handbag to Layla.
“Ah, this…”
Layla had already guessed that one of the bags was for her, but when Jacob actually handed it over, she still felt a bit at a loss.
“Mr. Jacob, this gift is too expensive, I can’t accept it.”
Although Layla really liked the handbag, she still felt she couldn’t accept it. After all, it was their first meeting, and accepting such an expensive gift didn’t seem appropriate.
